Friday Favorites: bareMinerals Complexion Perfection

I’ve always been self-conscious about my skin. I had acne as a teenager and… oh wait, I still do. Just a few years ago, I went on Accutane to treat rosacea and acne which helped a lot, but I’ll always think of myself as someone with problem skin. I’ve even worn makeup to bed when, um, not alone – not to look glamorous, but to conceal redness and breakouts.

Ah, makeup. The right kind applied properly can quite literally change someone’s life. Check out this lucky lady who had a makeover on the Bethenny show this week:

Learning to apply makeup properly with a professional makeup artist is on my list of beauty musts. You may think you know all there is to know, but there’s always a new trick or technique to learn that may make a difference in your world. (My go-to makeup expert is Kirsten Brusse from The Daily Beauty Blotter.)

My Friday Favorite this week is the bareMinerals Complexion Perfection Palette. I bought it after my purse was stolen and I needed to replace all my makeup. It has everything I need to even out my skin tone, cover blemishes, even contour and highlight! Best part? There are 8 different versions of it so you can get the colors that best match your skin color.
